"This was BEYOND delicious! With rich, deep, and downright beautiful flavors, this is a treat that I cannot wait to make again! Since my family are not raspberry lovers, I substituted strawberries, and it was still wonderful. I want to try more chocolate compatible fruit, and even without fruit altogether! This is a keeper recipe, without a doubt!"
